". . . people are free to use or not use GMO product."
Whereas
thousands of consumers are calling for strict labeling rights as consumers,
Robert Wenzel over at Economic Policy Journal says that GMOs are not
dangerous. Here is one
article he cites with a comment or two . . .
Julie
Kelly writes
in WSJ:
"Despite
what you may hear from the culinary elite, genetic engineering is winning the
day and gradually overcoming their “Frankenfood” fear-mongering. A flurry of
good news this year ought to convince the public, more than ever, of the safety
and the tremendous promise of this technology.
On
Dec. 8 the Food and Drug Administration approved a new chicken that has been
genetically modified to treat a rare and potentially fatal disorder called
lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. The chicken, which won’t be available as
meat, produces eggs with an enzyme that replaces a faulty human enzyme,
addressing the underlying cause of the disease. Add it to the small but growing
class of “farmaceuticals,” including drugs made by transgenic goats and
rabbits."
The
idea that all GMO food is bad or dangerous is absurd.
In
this article here,
he addresses some of the com mentors at his site who replied vehemently against
GMOs.
His
main point is this,
". . . people are free to use or not use GMO products."
